OK now I know you are ALL going to laugh, so go ahead and have your fun lol... but I am deathly afraid of turtles... big, small, alligator snapping, box, sliders, snappers, ALL TURTLES!!! I have never met anyone else who is afraid of them so I feel kind of odd (actually I feel REALLY odd lol). Mr_Bean had me take a photo with a 30 year old, 70 pound, turtle at Scales and Tails in Lakewood and in the photo I look as though I am going to the electric chair. I am trying to overcome my fears, but can't. So maybe we should first start a thread called "Someone help MrsBean overcome her fear of turtles" LOL!!!!! ....and that's the story

A little "Tiger Roar" sensitive myself..

Mrs. Bean:

I understand, I once petted a live 14' Crockodile while getting my picture taken & still not sure I would ever do it again. Just outside of the camera's view was a guy w/ a very big stick!

At the same place (the Crockodile Farm in Bangkok, Thailand) I had my picture taken w/ a real Bengal Tiger that was chained to the floor w/ a very heavy chain. I was the only non Asian visitor in line to touch the "giant cat" (I 1st thought it had been drugged...) & they had me put my hand between his ears.......

They took the picture a 1/10 of a second too soon.....& missed me going over backwards in an unitended back flip as the Tiger suddenly jerked back his head let out a huge Roar!

The entire crowd got a laugh out of that! (Much more than Jsouz having me talk into a dead microphone!)

Since my 2 weiner dogs don't play well w/ others....., I don't have a Pet Rock on a leash.... I will bring pictures to the meeting of yet another critter of unusual type at the CF giving me a kiss on the cheek!

LMAO - MrsBean's turtles phobia is because once a while ago, a Aligator Snapping Turntle jumped at her, LMAO, like a baby that is just learning to walk couldn't get away faster than the turtle can go. LMAO
We both were at Scales & Tales in Littleton, I think that's the town, and they were showing us a adult beared dragon, we have one of those, and I heard a russling around, and at the store, thay have on the loose, in the back room, is a 70# turtle that is 30 years old. I actually got MrsBean to touch the turtle, and got a photo of her doing so, and I wish I knew how to post a pic on the text area, I would put it on here, RUBBISH !! Someone please tell me how, cause Mrs Bean won't tell me how ............ HELP !

Bump for the meeting (not the turtles).
Only six people are signed up for the meeting - poor attendance I must say.

I'd not worry about it too much Chuck. With teh promise of a ride a hand, there will be enough. And if we are few, then so be it; that's never stopped us before.

Sorry, I can't make it. I already have plans for tomorrow night. In the future I'll have to make sure not to over-book on the second Tuesday of the month. I really enjoyed last month's meeting so I'd like to attend more!

Sorry to have to back out. We are babysitting all 3 grand kids tonight. The 3 & 1 year old are a handful together, add 4 week old Kate & we could soon be checking into a padded room somewhere!

I only know the info that was put into the newsletter, even then I'm not sure exactly which roads they are; I can probably find out though. I'll get back to ya later today when I've had a chance to compare maps.

Understood Mike - I wish I had a padded room ... no cares, drugs, sleep & diapers, what could be better?

Sounds easy when written, but don't follow me!

Following it on a zoomed in version, I'm 90% familiar with the route we'll be taking. I've not driven this in its entirety, but close. I can provide pointers later this evening if you need it.

I'm ready to go now.
